[CQ-Contest] band plan definition - LSB vs USB

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

The US regulations require our signals to be contained within the 
designated band limits. As an example, 14.150 ~ 14.350 MHz.

A transceiver typically displays the suppressed carrier frequency. Let's 
use 14.200 MHz as an example. When you transmit on upper sideband, the 
voice signal is contained with the range of 14.200 to 14.203. If you 
change to lower sideband, the signal is contained within 14.200 to 
14.197 MHz.

 From this information you should be able to determine how close to a 
band edge your suppressed carrier frequency can be set. It depends on 
what sideband is selected and which band edge you are near. The examples 
give in the ITU R1 band plan are correct as you quoted (assuming 1840, 
3600, and 7050 are the band limits in your region).

Some people may argue their voice signal is only 2.5 KHz wide, but the 
principle still holds the same.
